Natural Language Processing (NLP)

Overview

NLP is fundamental to modern AI applications in cybersecurity. It enables systems to analyze email content, understand context and intent, detect social engineering tactics, and generate human-readable reports. In phishing detection, NLP helps identify suspicious language patterns, urgency indicators, and impersonation attempts. Advanced NLP models can understand nuance, sarcasm, and cultural context that simple keyword matching misses. PhiShark uses NLP to provide detailed, analyst-like commentary on threats, explaining not just what was detected but why it's suspicious.
